A Warm Welcome

Probably written by a human: Electron Proton Neutron ???
For audiences of (click all that apply): Electrons Protons Neutrons ???
In E:P:N terms, I relate best to: Electrons Protons Neutrons ???
Personally, I think I am mostly a (an): Electron Proton Neutron ???
I rate this saying's validity to be a: (0=low, 9=high)
 

This E:P:N Outpost is the linguistic portal to a quasi EPCOT for the next millennium. As an experimental prototype, it is an eclectic conglomerate of theological, political, and educational systems for all who wish to acculturate into the outpost's structure of balanced diversities . . . balanced self-directed global education.
"Learning FROM Atoms" is the outpost's motto. Preserving diversities is its aim.
You have three choices for navigating: Either click on the large E:P:N, C-tests & Cheese links or use one of the two drop-down menus. The blue menu across the top is divided into five sections. The text-based version has only three, but both menus contain the same links. A simple explore and discover mission will tell you quickly which of the three you prefer. The main reason for duplicates: The fancy menu bar can't be seen by search engines.
When you're ready for a tour, click on one of the mascots. Eleko, the frugal squirrel, will highlight the outpost's technical features. Prot, the domesticated vulture, will talk about entrepreneurial skills. And Njut, the vacationing snail, is in charge of making sure things get done. You could say she is in charge of management; Eleko is in charge of manufacturing; and Prot is in charge of sales.
Their images are at the bottom. All three will . . .
§
  1. present the twelve cyclical stages of the E:P:N theorem (related to yin-yang)
  2. show you how the outpost implements E:P:N-ratio role modeling in its schools
  3. take you an a tour of Europe's C-Test, including its online/offline adaptations as an ongoing learning aid, and
  4. finish your tour with a visit of the ever-growing BIG CHEESE archives, which are used for training the skills of "negotiating meaning" with the various types of classmates and co-workers. Currently, the archives contain only four years of daily bilingual sayings, but you, as an esteemed visitor to the outpost, may personally add to these 1000+ sayings as many as you wish, provided that they are already translated into at least one other language (starting with Esperanto) and are rated, at least broadly, with an E, P, or N designation.
All outpost services are free with the exception of private C-TEST directories and the personalized offline version of the program (for schools and households without an internet connection). Prot will tell you about them if you like.
Again, Bonvenon! (Welcome!)

                                       
           


To help you choose a tour guide:

Eleko loves to 'MAKE' things. He'll lead you through the site's technical aspects. As to his personality: Eleko loves structure and relates well to predictable behavior patterns; he is much like a real electron in a stable atom.

Prot is the salesman. He'll lead you past the projects that led to the creation of this outpost. Some of them are still pipe-dreams; others are well researched and established. Prot's intent will be to recruit you to the cause. And, like protons in atoms, he tries to set the pace and run the show. So, watch out! :-)

Njut sometimes looks to be the smartest of the three, but she knows very well that a work-unit comprised of just laid-back neutrons, no matter how talented or wise, wouldn't get much done. She is truly bi-passionate and a fair arbitrator. She is the outpost's senior teacher and coach. You can count on her leading you through the whole spectrum of databases dealing with treasures and teaching strategies. Her tour will drop you off at blumenterprise.org, the bi-lingual training site for tutors and self-motivated stragglers.

The Venn diagram image is symbolic of contrasting trinities. Click on it one day when you have the time to contemplate why the primary 'subtractive' colors combine to look black while the primary 'additive' colors combine to look white. To some, this phenomenon is as impactful as the E:P:N theorem.
